228 East 10th Street, Manhattan, NY 10003

228 East 10th Street is a 4-story, 9-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1900, currently owned by Keith Paul. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with multiple complaints recorded between 2021-2022, particularly notable in October and November 2022 when several emergency complaints were filed regarding building-wide heat and hot water problems. These issues were generally resolved following HPD inspections, though they suggest persistent HVAC maintenance challenges.

In 2021-2022, there were also two separate water leak complaints (August 2021) that required correction. More recently, in April 2025, a rodent-related complaint was filed and investigated, though no violations were found, and the building has consistently passed rodent inspections throughout 2022-2025, suggesting active pest management. Significant mechanical system concerns emerged in 2021, when three separate complaints about boiler issues were filed between February and October 2021, leading to violations that were still active as of May 2024, including failure to file required inspection reports and various boiler room safety issues with associated fines.

The building's environmental compliance record shows consistent bedbug reporting with zero infestation history from 2019 through 2024. Historical violations from 2018-2019 included inadequate entrance lighting and unauthorized after-hours construction work. The property has maintained an active compliance record with regular permit filings, typical for such a building, with multiple permits issued for various work (plumbing and electrical) between 2018-2019.
